me & tomfoolery

U + Me + Her, FINALE | JTA Short Story

"Now, go relax. I'll finish up the food."

Seven already went into the living room to get confortable. The wine glasses, the tequila, the chips and dip were all on the table.

They went all out for me, how cute.

Scrolling through her phone she checked her Instagram notifications seeing that there was a boatload of new followers due to both Juan and Audi following her. It was overwhelming.

"You good in here?" Juan asked taking a seat beside her. "Yeah, I see you and some of y'all people followed me."

"Like who?"
"I don't know these people. Too many notifications." She poured herself a glass of tequila and red wine.

"Now why are you mixing dangerously like that?" He made sure to text Jordan, being as though that was the only person who knew about her.

Did you follow this girl?

Sure the fuck did. Tell her to follow back 👀

You want me to put in a good word?

If you love me just say that bro 😂

Gotchu 🤞🏼

"I'm grown, I can handle myself."

Juan wanted to see just how well she could handle herself. "Yeah, you grown alright. Is that why you're single?"

"You are in my business sir." She laughed taking a sip of her drink. "I'm single because people be on bullshit. I ain't got time for all of that."

"What you got time for?"
"Wouldn't you like to know?"

Juan stood up adjusting his sweats before walking down the hallway. She noticed the print the moment he stood up, as if it were now embedded in her brain.

This man don't have on no drawls.

Audi walked in next showing off in her little shorts. Seven was delighted that they both were trying to seduce her. She could admit it was working. The mental Olympics it took not to drop to her knees in the kitchen as they tongued each other down, was hard enough.

"Was Juan being a good host?"
"He was, he was in my business though." Audi sat closer than Juan did, pushing the loose hair out of Seven's face.

"And what did he say?"
"He asked why I was single boo, and I told him the truth." She giggled. "People ain't shit."

"Awe, don't say that. You'll find someone, or better yet they'll find you."

Seven wanted to roll her eyes, she got it but it wasn't what she wanted to hear. Especially because it was the same thing and same result.

"Anyways, enough about me. What about you? How was your day?"

"It was good, I found a photographer and some models for a photo shoot for the new line. Hopefully you'll come back in time for it. Maybe I can hire you to make sure all my models are together, maybe be a model?"

"I'll think about that. I'm thinking of New York after my vacation." Seven poured herself more of her concoction and poured some for Audi and Juan.
